A. In reading your profile and your post, I can't help but think that it's a matter of timing and right now the timing doesn't sound good. For as long as you've been on the planet, have you ever looked up and not seen sky? Well, the sky will still be there when the timing is right. Of most concern is the "every 2-3 months." If that's the case, the occasional tandem until the timing is good _may_ get you your fix. B. "IF" you would like an alternative suggestion, there are many DZ's that can help you get thru the training in about a week (meaning - released for solos and coach training thru the A License which can take ~month). After that, you'd have to commit to _at least_ one weekend a month to do several (5-10) jumps to stay one notch ahead of the breakeven curve (meaning learning a little something each weekend to make you more proficient and meeting AggieDave's position of ~100 jumps per annum - 10 jumps month.... 10 months out of the year). If you can't do this, then you'll find the local populace of skydivers will tend to not take you seriously and/or help you with progression in the sport and you'll remain flat in your learning, become frustrated and become another adios to the sport. If not B, then A. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

666 - Is this the bigest problem in their lives?
BIGUN replied to shropshire's topic in Speakers Corner
Symbols, glyphs and signs are a part of any culture. What is reverence to one may be a symbol of retraction to another. Skinheads revere their symbol of hatred while most abhor it. To some, your own symbol (avatar) may not be the most revered symbol to some; but to you, it's important. Is the symbol of Islam bad? The Star of David? The Cross? Any of these could be considered "dark ages." I think the real question is, "Is the biggest problem in your lives.... worrying about the meaning of 666 to another culture?

I've been jumping sporadically at best since SkyFest. And, when I do it's a solo or HnP Tore the center deltoid, busted the bursa sac AND injured the rotator cuff. I hope to get a jump in tomorrow. How long will you keep posting? I've been thinking about a sabbatical for awhile. Don't know if the Writer's Guild has reached out this far, but the reruns of questions/discussions have come full circle for about the third time now. 'Cept boobie thread. I think we're on about the 987th iteration of that thread. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

IT consultants-Do you use your own laptop for work?
BIGUN replied to marcandalysse's topic in The Bonfire
You have to ask yourself this question... If the compensation (Salary + bonuses) was so high, why didn't they lower it just a bit (5K smoothed out between both? If it were 5K less, would you have still taken the opportunity? I think you did the right thing - something about this just sounds wrong. Good luck.

Fill out your profile so I can help you better, please. I am so tired of hearing this >250 lbs - can't jump shit. The bottom line is [you] are not worth the hassle for potentially being one of the many that walk away - but if you don't get the chance, we'll never know. I'd like the opportunity to help you achieve your first jump. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Please don't roll on the bottom end of your skydive. Just keep tracking as flat and as far as you can while scanning below and to the sides; wave, pitch - let those above you do their job. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

It's been covered with an equal amount of pros & cons for both. Like most things in skydiving, it becomes a matter of preference. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_type=AND&search_string=video+or+handicam Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

First of all, don't confuse Airborne School with skydiving, Second, don't confuse skydiving with HALO School. Both are weapons delivery systems. Skydiving on the other hand is about fun. No matter which base you're on; go down to the local DZ and hang out for a day. You're bound to find some fellow soldier/skydivers who've managed to figure out a way to pay for skydiving. Being a broke dick soldier ain't no different than most broke dick skydivers. If you have the will, there's a way.

I think you're right on both counts. Their website is one of the worst user expereinces...

Let me see if I got this right: Client Consultant You (as FTE to the consulting company) Then yes, they _should_ be required to provide all required HW/SW to you. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
